What People Say

I wanted to reach out to you on behalf of Bridget and myself to thank you both so, so much for all of your assistance leading up to and on the event day for Crate and Barrel. We know there was a lot of back and forth, beginning with the contract and changes, and then at the end with the weather surprises. You both handled everything so eloquently and efficiently, and you truly make it so easy to work with you and to continue referring you.
We are your number one fans, and we look forward to even more events together in the future! Thank you so much!

I wanted to send a note of thanks for the musicians for my Honorands Dinner! Mike and Katherine were fantastic again this year and provided an elegant modern touch to the event.
I hope we can work together again soon.
Have a wonderful rest of your week!

Barbara Siska~University of Chicago Law

I wanted to say a big time thank you to you and your team and pass along HUGE kudos to your bands. From both the staff and guests perspective, the bands on Friday and Saturday were beyond fabulous and were a huge hit. You should feel so proud – they were GREAT! Northwestern Law loves working with you and your team and I look forward to continuing to work with you at many events to come.
Thanks for always providing such fun and professional service. You guys are the best!

WOW. IMPRESSED.
Quite a family of talent you represent… Yesterday’s Blues quartet and DJ Zach both hit it out of the park. The morning music was a perfect fit, and got the audience excited, then took it up a notch with the guest vocalist. Then to close the day with an outstanding dj, who could read the crowd and kept the energy going all night with a wide variety of guests from all of the world was a Godsend. I was running around back and forth and didn’t get the chance to meet the band personally, but luckily was able to run into Zach as he was all packed up and headed out of the room.
Please give a round of applause and pats on the back to your bevy of artists. The conference tagline this year is ‘Go the Extra Mile’ and your performers certainly hit the mark! Now onto the next one!

Stephen Fernandez~ 360 Destination Group

Just wanted to send a huge thank you for organizing the band and flappers for the event. All of the entertainment went down extremely well with guests and especially the CEO. The band just got into their groove when we had to cut for the night but would definitely recommend.

Thanks again for organizing everything and working with us on this.
